Each May, individuals, schools and organisations across the UK take part in National Numeracy Day, taking meaningful actions to improve number confidence and skills in order to open up opportunities in life.

The results are incredible and we simply could not have the impact we do without the support of our wonderful Delivery Partners.

What does a Delivery Partner do?

Delivery Partners are organisations which help us spread the message of National Numeracy Day. Promoting the campaign via emails, newsletters and social media ensures that many more audiences get to hear about our work and the message of improved numeracy is spread even further.

This year we’re thrilled to welcome on board some fantastic new Delivery Partners, who all share our enthusiasm for helping the nation to get on with numbers.

Charity, educational resource provider, government body – different kinds of organisations can all play an essential part in getting the message of National Numeracy Day heard far and wide, and for that we’re incredibly grateful.

Delivery Partners are fantastic at signposting their audiences to National Numeracy Day resources and activities, such as the Big Number Natter and National Numeracy Challenge, and sometimes even provide their own resources for the campaign’s digital toolkits or collaborate with us on exciting events.

This year, we’re also delighted to announce our very first media partner in popular children’s magazine, The Week Junior!

Media partners help us reach even bigger audiences, with The Week Junior able to let young readers know all about the exciting ways they can get involved in the number fun, such as by entering the Number Heroes competition.

Showcasing our amazing partnerships

We proudly celebrate and showcase the invaluable support of all our Delivery Partners by including them on our Impact Report and feature them on social media and our website.

Read on to learn more about our Delivery Partners and why they support National Numeracy Day.
